Analyzing Mahayana refutations of Advaita

Hello everyone,

 

This is my first post here. I came across a website found a site which

neatly assembles a lot of classical and newer Advaita texts and along

with it, one finds refutations of the Advaita position from various

schools, including the Mahayana.

 

http://www.geocities.com/advaitavedant/

 

This is very good work because criticisms from various authors that

apply to either Advaita and so on are presented here and therefore it

seems like an organized way to go about looking at what this

refutation really consists of.

 

Often, especially with writers such as Nagarjuna, there is an

impression created by orthodox Buddhists that the logic is absolutely

perfect and flawless.

 

If there is interest, I propose that we slowly over the course of some

time go through the arguments or points raised by the Buddhists as

presented in that page,

 

Regards,

Rishi.

Namaste,

 

It seems to me that Mahayana is somewhat similar in many ways to

visishta advaita or perhaps even dvaita in some respects.

 

The reason why they say that Nirvana is not the same as Atman or

Brahman is because they are not entertaining the concept of Nir Guna

Brahman......Nir Vana---Nir Guna............ONS...Tony
